Harrisburg, Pennsylvania’s capital, plans to auction off more than 8,000 relics ranging from 1900s-era rifles to wooden wagons that were meant to be part of a Wild West museum in the bankrupt city in the Northeast.
Representatives of 10 auction houses examined the artifacts yesterday, Robert Philbin, a spokesman for Mayor Linda Thompson, said. He declined to name them, though he said 25 firms, including Christie’s Inc. and Sotheby’s, were invited to submit proposals.
